Understand that life is risk management; and that I offer no guarantees/warranties regarding the following advice. Continue at your own risk. 1. Boot from the installation CD. 2. When you get to the sysinstall Main Menu, select Index. 3. Select the Partition module. 4. DO NOT delete any partitions. 5. Set the FreeBSD and NTFS partitions as bootable. 6. Write your changes. 7. When given the option, install the FreeBSD boot loader (which Windows erased during installation). 8. Back out of the sysinstall menus and quit. 9. Reboot, remove the CD and see what happens.
